Annual Meeting General Sessions


Title
Gulf of Mexico Oysters, the Industry, and the Future
We invited several experts to talk a bit about the status of oysters in the Gulf and rest of the US. We received presentation on oyster stock assessment techniques, ocean acidification and changing environments and got a history lesson in what has happened elsewhere while getting aquaculture into the existing management regimes.
Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) in the Gulf of Mexico
This general session provided an overview of each of the Gulf state’s Harmful Algal Bloom Programs, as well as the data that they collected during the 2015-2016 red tide event. There were also presentations on the impacts of harmful algal blooms to Gulf of Mexico fisheries and methodologies for monitoring the presence of different alga species.
